    Need help with 5.1.4 setup in my room

    That does help, I missed the update with the diagram initially.

     

    Front soundstage:  I don't know what mains you have.  You've got them in the corners and toed in heavily.  I prefer mains equidistant to the center and slightly toed in.  A single sub near the middle seems good, if it sounds good to you with no nulls or peaks.

     

    Surrounds:  I don't know which surround speakers you have.  A di-pole would be best so it isn't playing directly into your ear.  Is Sofa 2 is your MLP?

     

    Here are the speakers I have and that might help you.

     

    RP-8060FA (Towers)

    RP-504C (Center)

    RP-502S (Surrounds)

    SPL-150 (Sub)

    CDT-5800 C II (Rear Heights)

     

    Sofa 1 will be my main. Since I am close to the wall i got the 502S based on my understanding and reading in the forums. I am trying keep my corner towers to angle at 22 degrees as per dolby recommendation as that is the only set I can probably plan. The ones in the rear I cannot go dolby recommended way and looking to see some suggestions.

    I mis-understood.

     

    It might help if you post a picture.  Speaking for myself, I'm not very good at visualizing.

    I just posted the layout in the first post.  Does that help? If not, I will post my room pictures with the construction going on. Hopefully that will be good enough.

    If you don't have the best center speaker you can afford, that's where I would begin.  You need one of these:

    Klipsch is good at complete packages these days.

    You also might want to move FAST on buying a new RP system as prices are about to go a lot up due to the tariffs on China.  Speaker prices for made in the US won't be affected.

     

    I already got the speakers.  I am looking for optimal placement of speakers to get most of them.

    Gurus,

     

    I am re-doing my home theater and looking for recommendations on the speaker setup for my room.

     

    Room dimensions are 12 *17*9.  Screen will be on the 12 feet wall and 17ft will be listening position. Room is 9 ft height.  I have 5.1.4 (All Klipsch) with two front speakers being upfiring and two ceiling speakers.

     

    I am also doing a 12 inch raiser so the row close to the wall will be 12 inch higher than the front row.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    5.1.2.

     

    RP-8060FA for front and heights

    RP-504C center

    RP-502S surrounds.

     

    RZ830 for AVR. Ran accueq and left it whatever it is set. Room is 17 x 12. Any other information you need from setup let me know and I can take screenshots from Onkyo setup if that helps.

     

    One thing I think may be wrong is I connected wire to the top of connectors for the front slope speakers. Should that be for bottom one?

    I’ve mounted the RP502S, using their Keyhole mounts and Mollybolts rated for 60#. So far,  two days in and they are still up. They probably need a safety backup just in case. I haven’t sorted a way to do that. Possibly use the threaded mount in some way?

    I am interested in this. How is your setup holding? Since the 502S weighs less than 20 lbs i wanted to see if this works.

    Suggestions for AVR please

    IMO, do what you can to get the 830.  One main advantage over the 787 is that it has multichannel preouts for adding an outboard amp in the future if you so desire.  Other important features to mention are a more advance room EQ and better power supply.

    Thanks Bill definitely liking 830 now that I have been spending time. Amazon has a good deal and will buy today or tomorrow.

    Looking for AVR recommendations for my Klipsch setup.  Understand AVR is heart of the setup but also would like to keep the budget to a minimum if possible.  I already bought the speakers below

     

    RP-8060FA

    RP-504C

    RP-502S

    SPL-150

     

    I will be adding two ceiling speakers to make it 5.1.4 in the future so looking for receivers that does 5.1.4 or 5.2.4 so that i can add another sub in the future.  My room is approximately 17 * 13 with 10 feet vaulted ceiling.  Amazon has a good deal on NR787 and has 100 W per channel but i think for RP-8060FA the spec says 150 W is needed so not sure if the NR787 is powerful enough.

    FWIW I do not have an atmos setup yet . But have been researching extensively and going with 4 atmos speakers seems to be the clear choice. Of course I would recommend 5.2.4  . Maybe just save the 2nd Sub for last if you must.

     

    @hunkynMessage @MetropolisLakeOutfitters  he is an authorized dealer and from what I

     understand has great prices .

     

    Thanks @Gnote. Yes I reached out to Cory and also reached out to few of the authorized dealers and see who can give me the best price. I am thinking of 5.1.4 to keep in budget for now and I will add another sub in the future.

    Looking for some recommendations for my HT setup. Thinking of doing 5.2.2 for my HT and have decided on the following equipment. Wanted to see if this is going to be too big for my room and where would be the best setup for the speakers (esp the surrounds).

    Speakers (All Klipsch):

    RP-600FA
    RP-504C
    RP-502S
    R-115SW (Front and Rear)

    Receiver:

    Denon AVR-X4400H


    Ceilings are vaulted and I am concerned up firing speakers may not be effective and might had two more in the ceiling at a later time. Any help in this regards is greatly appreciated.
